Anyone who testifies before a grand jury has potential exposure -- if only related to the testimony rather than the substance being investigated.
If there is a chance they'll ask him questions -- he'd be nuts not to get his own lawyer. As Ty notes, the Clinton-era prosecutions establishes that neither DOJ nor the White House counsel can represent the President personally.
